Oh yeah, a 6% beer came with it as well followed by a trip to Burger King. :)
Nice.
The only meal I've had in Russia was a free bowl of red cabbage soup about 30 years ago served up by 10 ton Olga in the airport.
My flight was delayed for a day and the sirport was full of delayed passengers from all over.
Ended up spending most of the time on the Guiness in the Russias first Irish bar talking to Hippies, Drug Smugglers, Business types,trolley dolleys, economic refugees and backpackers.
Anyhow 10 ton Olga had a trolley with a squeaky wheel laden down with bowls of red cabbage soup, everyone in the tetminal got a bowl whether you wanted it or not.
No one refused Olgas hospitality.
Internet connection seems to be working fine :)Quote:

He enjoyed the soup but felt we should have worked harder for it and might have spent a couple of weeks in the gulag to show our appreciation.
Odd fella. :)
I do not eat borst anymore
It's an ukranian dish/bowl.
:)
That's a Snubbles wet dream!:)Quote:

No sandwiches today so I'll be off to my fav noodle shop for lunch.

Wife made a big pot of Pork broth and served up a big bowl of Sen mee tom yum moo bowl of soup. :). Perfect on a rainy day.
Attachment 106896 The wife bought a huge jar of kimchi in costco today
.I don't much care for it. She seems to like it though. Suppose it's gonna be kimchi farts for a few days now. Wish I had never introduced her to the " Dutch oven"
I googled thatQuote:

I was absolutely starving today so I decided to treat myself to a pancake as well.
Attachment 106908
It was a heavy last weekend for us both, so we passed on the ale. We won't be making that mistake at the weekend though when we get together to talk about the good times under Uncle Joe!
Attachment 106909
Chicken and potatoes in cream sauce with roasted vegetables and a coffee custard pudding for me (and a meat pancake on the side). Remind me to tell the waiter next time that the soup kitchen's presentation skills leave quite a bit to be desired and could create a poor impression of The Motherland for foreign visitors.
Attachment 106910
Roasted chicken breast, plov and mixed veggies for Helge (his favourite).
Attachment 106911
And here is the half-eaten solyanka we lovingly shared!

The wife got salmon and I got lasagna....the wife said she cooks better salmon and the lasagna had to be the worst I've ever tried. It was soupy and there was very little filling between the sheets.
Attachment 106922Attachment 106921
The best part of the meal was that if we used our credit card to pay, the meal would be 1/2 price.
Yikes.
Straws needed for the lasagne.
And have they sprinkled something on the top there to simulate grilled cheese?
I'm guessing paprika...Quote:

I love a good shashlick and that's one thing in good supply here in Moscow thanks to the glory days of the Soviet Union. Pork or chicken were the choices yesterday and I went for chicken with some vegeterian plov.
The golden rule of any kebab is a hot sauce and onions, innit?
Attachment 106980
Thankfully, cucumber free.
^ why are you trying to make out you are in Russia? between that and your putting Headworx to shame on every footie thread i think you may need to see someone.
I'd love to stay and chat about this but I Moscow.
:).......
It's ok for nammers to vote me out of the EU, but it's not ok for me to post about my new life in Moscow.
I don't get it.
We really have seen the complete wanker who lies beneath over the last few days.Quote:

Started the day by making a batch of bread rolls for the freezer. These just out of the oven and brushed with melted butter whilst hot.

Whilst the dough was proving, made a large pot of Aloo Gobi.

M'Sahib had some as a side with her lunch. The rest in the freezer.

Edith was home for the morning/arvo, so a lovely light 30 minutes of home cardio, then light 4 set upper body in the home gym while waiting for food pandy.

The sorta wrap that you need to keep wrapped in the wrapping paper if you want to eat it as a wrap, wrap, for me.
Some sorta veggie + processed meat thing for Edith.

Fresh mint, lemongrass, lavender and Evian tea to sip on.
Coming into the 6 months of the year where dining on your veranda is just relaxingly splendid. :yup:

I was nearly gonna tell the tale about my weekend with the 2 dancers from Nana in Klong Toey and the 48 hour epic session we had, but I think this could be too much for my pal.
And I only have his best interests at heart. :)
Do tell
Can't.Quote:
